43. Love Is Beauty

Zayn POV

She's back. And I can't believe it. I take her upstairs to finally tell her how I really feel about her. I tell her that I'm deeply in love with her and she just looks at me. She's confused which I can tell and she climbs off of me.

Rejected and hurt, I leave her in the room, heading downstairs and storming outside, slamming the door behind me. Tears run down my face as I sprint towards the park, trying to think. She doesn't love me back.

"Zayn!" I hear her scream from behind me. I keep running until I'm at the park and finally collapse on the grass.

"It's time for my speech," She says, flinging herself down on top of me.

I vaguely notice that she just sprinted on her hurt ankle and give a note to myself before I pay attention to her. She has tears streaming down her face, just as much as me. "Zayn," She says again, her hair draping down her face forming a barrier between our two faces. "I couldn't say it back there because all I could think about was how Josh always said it to me and it was fake so my brain automatically thought what you were saying was fake as well." She pauses to wipe away my tears. "When I came downstairs I heard Harry say something about me needing to get over my past. And I realized I let you go. And now," She pauses again, taking a deep breath, "I trully realize that you meant it. Zayn Malik, I am also, deeply in love with you," She whispers the last part.

I roll over so she's underneath me and I kiss her with so much passion that I feel like we are one. She tangles her fingers through my hair and pulls me against her. "Don't ever," She says in between kisses, "run away from me," another breath, "again."

We stop kissing and I just look down at her with admiration and love. "Now," I begin, "You aren't allowed to run on that ankle!" I reprimand her.

"When the man you love is sprinting away from you, you run after him no matter how hurt you are," She replies, putting my hair back in its place after messing it up while kissing. I begin to get up and I help her up as well.

"And when the girl you love runs after you with a hurt ankle you carry her back," I respond. She laughs and jumps on my back, piggy back style.

I head back to my flat with her on my back. "So," She says.

"So what?" I laugh.

"I guess what they say is true. You don't have to have sex to make a relationship work," She replies.

"Wow that came out of no where," I respond chuckling.

"I was just thinking about how ya know, we didn't... do that. But we're obviously in love without anyways," She points out.

"That's true," I reply. We get back to my flat and I put her down but hold her waist so she's against me.

"So are you guys going to tell us what happened?" Liam asks us when we get back.

Charlotte and I look at each other. "We're in love," She answers him.

"Is that it? Because we already knew that," Louis says. We just look at them.

"It's true," Niall laughs. "We already knew it," He says again.

"Don't we have to get to that interview?" Charlotte asks, changing the topic. I feel her grow tense even though she tries not to make it noticeable. I follow her line of sight and see she's looking at Emily - I can tell things with her and her sister aren't going to be great just yet.

"Yup, we do," I reply.

"Well I'm going to get changed," She says, escaping my grip and rushing upstairs, realizing just now that she's in yoga pants and a T shirt.

"She still hates me," Emily sighs.

"You can't expect everything to be just fine already. Give her some time," Eleanor tells her.

We wait downstairs for Charlotte and...the wait is worth it. She comes down and I gasp because of her beauty, again and again. She's wearing black skinny jeans, a grey sweater that says Make Love on it, black Vans, and a grey beanie. Her curls are fluffy and she's wearing a tad of liner but that's the only makeup she has. She smiles at Eleanor on the way down and they communicate with facial expressions - I kind of missed that happening, but at the same time I'm confused again.

"You're so beautiful," I say, taking her hand.

"Thank you," She lifts herself up on her tiptoes to kiss my cheek.

We all head out to the van together. We've come a long way since I've met Charlotte. She's not the same damaged girl as she was when I first met her. And we've both learned to love. Together, we head out towards the interview, our first of many adventures.

In the car, she leans against me and I wrap my arms around her. "I love you," She whispers.

"I love you too Mrs. Malik," I reply. She looks up at me and her face a mixture of emotions. I smile at her and wink.

"Adventure is worthwhile in itself,"

"Love is not finding someone to live with. It is finding someone you can't live without,"
